I said that I'm looking for someone who would: a) uphold traditional morality (against abortion and homosexuality); b) be strong on national defense and security (against terrorism and illegal immigration); and c) want to reduce the size, scope, and spending of Big Government (against federal involvement in health, education, and other powers not delegated to it).

From what I know of them, each of the "frontrunners"--McCain, Giuliani, and Romney--would fail on one or more of those points. Gingrich I don't trust either.

So how about the "unelectables"? Brownback, Hunter, Huckabee, Sanford, Tancredo, Thompson, et al.? How do they compare on these issues?

Is the site a little sluggish now or is it me?

So how about the "unelectables"?

The more I read by Ron Paul, the more I like him. The one thing that I think could cause you issue with him is that he voted against the war in Iraq. His reasoning was basically: "Why bother if we don't protect our own borders?". I'm not sure about Huckabee. There were a couple of things that made me doubt him. One was a pardon(or similar) for some criminals that, I believe, went and committed more crimes. I don't believe you would have a problem with Tancredo or Hunter.
